I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

However, he stumbled at Lin Yi's hands in the first stop.

The second stop was defeat at the hands of Mother Earth.

In a fit of rage, she wanted to destroy the world to coerce Lin Yi. But Lin Yi was even more ruthless than her; he simply died and stopped playing with her, replacing her with someone from the celestial realm.

Originally, she wasn't afraid. The characteristics of the demon race made it impossible for the people of this world to attack them. True demons are immortal and indestructible, and they can penetrate anywhere. How could the immortal realm be a match for them?

However, there is a natural order in this world.

This Heavenly Way is the common Heavenly Way of the Three Realms.

The laws of nature dictate that there is birth and death, yin and yang; therefore, this world does not allow anything invincible to exist.

If so, then create an enemy.

Thus, Buddhism came into being.

The emergence of the Demon Realm is equivalent to completing the rules of the Heavenly Dao.

With the addition of the Demon Realm, there is also a corresponding Buddha.

Thus, the Buddha in the West suddenly comprehended the profound Tao and spread this Tao doctrine, leading to the great flourishing of Buddhism.

The overwhelming ferocity of the demon realm became a stepping stone for advocating the rise of Buddhism, and even the Demon Lord's mentality collapsed.

But she knew that the suppression of the demons and the rise of the fortunes of the immortals and Buddhas were the will of Heaven.

Since she couldn't break free, she could only try to find a loophole.

Thus, before the combined iron fist of the immortals and Buddhas could fall, the Demon Lord also went into hiding and sealed himself away.

However, she was not truly sealed away; instead, she left a trace of her will among all the demons in the world.

She is a demon, and the demon is her.

In this way, one can control the world situation without revealing oneself.

However, this will is not eternal. When a demon keeps dying, the will she leaves behind will dissipate and then reunite in another place.

The characteristic of immortality remains the same in every aspect.

But the Demon Lord never expected that Lin Yi, this ruthless man, would actually kill all the demons.

When it comes to ruthlessness, Lin Yi is the best.

Even Ah Qi, the only survivor of the demon race, was killed by him more than ten times, leaving him with psychological trauma. A dignified demon ancestor, reduced to a slave—it's utterly shameful!

Fortunately, the Demon Lord had a final trick up his sleeve.

The Great Demon Ancestor was the strongest and most valued by the Demon Lord. She entrusted all her last demonic thoughts to her. Even after her death, these demonic thoughts did not dissipate but instead attached themselves to Xiao Se.

Normally, there are no clues, but when her demonic thoughts and the body in which her demonic soul is hidden meet, a strange reaction occurs.

By then, she had already awakened and had taken the initiative to make arrangements.

Therefore, in Xiao Se's eyes, Hua Nianrou was not right, and in Hua Nianrou's eyes, Xiao Se was not right either.

While Lin Yi was away challenging the Great Celestial Venerable to a duel, the Demon Lord finally made his appearance.

At this point, who can stop me?

At this moment, demonic energy surges forth.

The Demon Lord truly believed he was invincible, which is why he was so arrogant.

Without Lin Yi and the Great Celestial Venerable, who in this world is she afraid of?

Even if it were Buddha, she wouldn't have been afraid if it weren't for the Great Celestial Venerable backing her up.

But at that moment, she heard the sound of scriptures.

"When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was practicing the profound Prajnaparamita..."

The Buddha's light pierced through the demonic energy, like a lighthouse in the darkness, guiding the way.

Before long, people began chanting Buddhist scriptures.

The visitor was none other than Gu Tinglan.

She is also a Bodhisattva who still remains in the human world. Seeing the ferocity of the Demon Lord, she also recited scriptures without hesitation.

The Demon Lord hated nothing more than monks chanting sutras, so he immediately roared and tried to kill Gu Tinglan with demonic flames.

Even if Buddhism has some restraining effect on the demonic sect, it cannot make up for the gap in strength.

But at that moment, a beam of azure light descended from the sky, just like sunlight breaking through the clouds.

"Demon-Subduing Sword!"

This is a sword specifically designed for demons. Although it cannot kill demons, it can inflict them immense pain.

Therefore, this sword is actually more terrifying than Buddhism.

The Demon-Subduing Sword can suppress the power of demons without killing them. Even the Demon Lord doesn't know who forged this divine weapon; it's extremely targeted.

At this moment, the one holding the Demon-Subduing Sword is none other than Jiang Linglong.

"So what if you have divine weapons? So what if you have the protection of Buddhism? You're nothing but a bunch of ants."

Stop making a pointless resistance. In this world, who can kill me now?

"I've come to kill you!"

A clear, melodious voice suddenly rang out, and the Demon-Subduing Sword in Jiang Linglong's hand suddenly flew out and landed in the newcomer's hand.

This person was none other than Yan Qingqiu, who was acting alone.

Yan Qingqiu's entrance was a striking first impression. When the Demon Lord reacted and looked at Yan Qingqiu, he was met with Yan Qingqiu's Demon-Subduing Sword.

"Ugh!"

The Demon Lord never expected that there would still be such a powerful being in the mortal realm.

To be honest, she didn't look down on the fox clan; she just didn't take them seriously.

But Yan Qingqiu's sword strike taught her a lesson.

The Demon-Subduing Sword was born to subdue demons; even the Demon Lord would feel its piercing pain.

The Demon Lord was instantly blasted out of Xiao Se's body. She trembled with pain, while Xiao Se remained unharmed.

The Demon-Subduing Sword kills demons but not people; it is highly targeted.

"How is that possible!"

The Demon Lord couldn't believe that he had stumbled again, this time by someone connected to Lin Yi.

Moreover, she didn't accomplish anything this time.

The first two times she managed to take many people with her, but this time she didn't take a single one. Because she was too arrogant, someone quickly came out to deal with her.

"Demon Lord, I have been waiting for this day for a very long time."

Yan Qingqiu spoke calmly, but the Demon Lord felt inexplicably uneasy.

The way that vixen looked at her seemed to suggest she wanted revenge.

What grudge do we have against each other?

Yan Qingqiu didn't explain, and charged forward with the Demon-Slaying Sword.

The Demon Lord switched to an intangible form in an attempt to evade the attack. However, the Demon-Subduing Sword still managed to hit her body, causing her to collapse to the ground in pain, almost losing all ability to resist.

The mighty Demon Lord is getting more and more pathetic each time.

"What is the origin of this sword, and why..."

"You'll know when you die."

Yan Qingqiu used the Demon-Subduing Sword to stab the Demon Lord three times, leaving him with six holes. The Demon Lord was in great pain but was unable to use his demonic powers to escape.

This is the Demon-Subduing Sword's suppression of her.

Jiang Linglong and the maid hiding in the crowd felt a strange sense of familiarity as they watched Yan Qingqiu wielding the Demon-Subduing Sword and hacking away indiscriminately.

It's like a scene from the past.

Back then, Jiang Linglong used the same sword to slash people when she was angry.

However, back then, Jiang Linglong killed a Demon Ancestor who ranked seventh, while today Yan Qingqiu is killing a Demon Lord.

Back then, Ah Qi screamed in agony, but now the Demon Lord has had his ferocity fully unleashed.

"The Demon-Subduing Sword is indeed powerful, but you cannot kill me! Once I have devoured the entire world, let's see what you can do to me then!"

The Demon Lord was beaten terribly, yet he still uttered threats; he can be considered a ruthless person.

But her words came to an abrupt end the next second.

As before, Yan Qingqiu stabbed the Demon Lord with his sword, and this stab was like popping a balloon, causing the Demon Lord's demonic energy to dissipate wildly.

"you you……"

The Demon Lord was now truly panicked, as she felt her power constantly draining away.

"The reason why Buddhism can subdue demons is not because Buddhist teachings can subdue demons, but because what truly subdues demons is the belief in the hearts of all beings."

"And my desire to kill you has been brewing for nearly ten thousand years!"

You can love someone for a long time, but you can hate someone for even longer.

Yan Qingqiu possessed the power to directly kill the Demon Lord with her first move, but she did not do so. Instead, she used the Demon-Subduing Sword to make the Demon Lord taste pain again and again.

This is the sword that subdues demons, and also the sword that seeks revenge.

Even in his final moments, the Demon Lord still couldn't figure it out.

What grudge or hatred could have made you hold onto it for so long?

As the Demon Lord dissipated like smoke and dust, those around him couldn't help but absorb the demonic energy into their bodies.

"Quickly concentrate your mind and guard your heart; do not give rise to evil thoughts."

Gu Tinglan quickly reminded him that this was the demonic thought that had dissipated after the Demon Lord's death, which could evoke negative emotions deep within a person's heart.

Even if one concentrates and guards one's mind, it will take some time to recover. If one indulges in self-discipline, one is not far from falling into demonic ways.

At this moment, Gu Tinglan couldn't care less about helping everyone. She used her Buddhist light to confine the demonic energy that the Demon Lord had dispersed to a certain area, intending to slowly wear it down with the Buddhist light.
